Teri here again, and I am thrilled to bring you three more projects with the new All About Love stamp set.

What a fun stamp set this set is! From the jars to the hearts to the glue bottle to the typewriter, this set just plain makes me smile!

I guess if I had to pick a favorite stamp from the set, it would have to be the typewriter. I just love the fun feel of it.

To make this card, I stamped the typewriter with red ink on white cardstock and pink patterned paper
and then did a little bit of fussy cutting and assembling. Look really close and you can see where part of the typewriter is pink.

I thought adding hearts over the typewriter (with sequins) was just a fun touch so that's what I did!

I also love the set's three jar stamps!

I used the large jar exclusively on this card. To make each jar look different, I decorated them with a stamped heart, sequins and epoxy dots. I also used a gray marker to add a little subtle of shading to each of the jars.

I also love the set's glue bottle. It's just so cute!

I thought it would just look fun to have hearts coming out of the bottle so I stamped a bunch of hearts, fussy cut them and scattered them (and sequins) about my card here.

Well, that's all I have for you today.

Hello everyone and welcome to another fun day of: All About Love. I am super excited about this set just because it is just so darn cute. So many fun things you can create with this set.. How about I show you a few..

I am totally loving these puzzle pieces and they fit together perfectly.

I went super clean & crisp because the typewriter is so fantastic. Seriously, who wouldn't love a retro aqua one?! I added a sweet little heart veneer and called it good.

Next up I used the glue bottle image:

I adhered some embroidery thread...another clean and crisp card. I wanted the image to be the star of the show.

Here's my last card, definitely NOT clean & crisp:

The kids and I love to go junk shopping. I picked up a Spice cookbook (circa 1961) in a (scary) thrift shop on the Washington coast. I used a portion of the intro page, heat embossed the sentiment in black and went to town with some Gelatos.
